THE FISHERY AWARD. heport of Mr, Hackett's Speech,

(From Hansard )

Mr. Wackerr—Before this resolution is submitted to a vote, I want to make a few remarks in regard toit, The question is one of very gr2at importance tu the people \of Prince Edward Island. Itis not a new question. It has been debated here for several Sessions, and I think hon. members jare now pretty conversant with the details jof the question. The hon. gentleman who ‘has just taken his seat has made a very | good speech from the standpoint, perhaps, |of his Province; but it must be remembered

the fact That Prince Edward

ifeet that the Government of the Island were called upon by the Imperial Govern- ment to ratify the Treaty of Washington, so far as the fishery clauses were concerned. At that time Prince Edward Isiand was a seperate colony, and had no connection whatever with the Dominion of Canada. Ve ratified that treaty at the urgent request of the Imperial Government, and we come here claiming that, having done so, the Island is entitled to a portion of the award, and should be treated in the same way as Newfoundland had been treated by the Imperial Government. We all know that, when the question was before the Halifax ‘Commission, the claim of Newfoundland war regarded as distinct from that o! the Dominion of Canada; and in apportioning theaward, thelsum of $1,000,000 was allowed to Newfoundland for the privileges she con- ceded under the Washington Treaty. We base our claim upon the fact that when we were asked to assent to that treaty, we were cutside of the Dominion of Canada, and that the concessions granted to the Americans on our behalf were not granted by the Dominion of Canada, but by the Province of Prince Edward Island. The hon. gentleman who has just taken his seat has referred to the fact that the Do- minion of Canada has undertaken the pro- tection of the fisheries. We all know that when a colony, under the British North America Act, becomes a part of the Con- federation, under section 91 of that Act, the Dominion assumes the protection of its fisheries; that is conceded; but, while the Dominion assumes the protection of the fisheries, that does not give the Dominion the right to LEASE OR SHLL

those fisheries. All the colonies of British North America, before Confederation, had territorial rights; those rights were guaran- teed to them by the Imperial Government; they hold those rights almost from time immemorial; and when they came into the Dominion of Canada they of course surren-

VOL. 14.--NO, 130,

here s lent, not saying one word in favor of the Province from which they came, now to charge us with any neglect of doty in this matter. In 1880, when thie matter was discussed in this House, an hon. gen- tlemen then representing a constituency in the Island, intended to submit the follow- ing Resolution. We know the House decided this money properly belongs to the Dominion of Canada, by a vote given in 1880, and several hon. gentlemen who now sitin this House then gave their vote in that direction; but that was on the general principle. We asserted that the claim of Prince Edward Island was seperate and distinct from the claim before the House, «nd a gentleman who, I regret very much, is not in the House now, was prepared to move this Resolution in amendment to the motion that the money belonged properly and by right to the Dominion :

‘Ist. That before the Ist July, 1873, the Treaty of Washington was in full torce and effect as respects Prince Edward Island.

“2nd. That there was uo express or implied surrender of the interests of the Island in the fishery award, at the time of the Island entering Confederation.

‘3rd. That the British North America Act does not apply to the case where an interest in the fisheries had been sold and conveyed away and the right tothe pur- chase money had accrued to the Island before Confederation and the said Act does not authorize the general Government to appropriate the proceeds of the sale of the Isiand fisheries for the general purposes of the Dominion.”

Mr. Woonworta—Who was the hon. gentleman who was going to propose that Resolution /

Mr. Hacxerr--Dr. Muttart, who then represented King’s County in this House. His contention, and it is the correct one, is that before the Ist of July, 1873, the Treaty of Washington was in force and effect as regards the Island, and that the Island, on going into the Union, did not surrender, in writing or in any way, any right or claim she had with respect to this matter. Now, it may be said that by the fact of the Island going into the Union at that time, and subsequent to the ratifica- tion of that treaty, she conveyed to the Dominion Partiamens the right to deal with this question. Hon. gentlemen will remember that, in 1875, a corres- pondence took place between this Government, then led by the hon. mem- ber for East York (Mr. Mackenzie), and the Imperial Government, with regard to the rights of British Columbia; and in that correspondence [ find the following dispatch on this subject. I want to show this House that the effect of any enlarge- ment of the boundaries of the Dominion by the admission to Confederation of any Provinces subsequent to the ratification of the Treaty, did not affect the right of any Province with regard to this Treaty, and this is the opinion of the law officers of the Crown. This despatch of Lord Carnarvon,

dered thoce rights to the Dominion, and the Dominion undertook to protect the fisheries of the several provinces; but that fact did not give the Dominion any rights of terri- tory, or any claim for compensation that those colonies might have had in those fisheries previous to Confederation. Now, Prince Edward Island had a right, there can be no doubt about that—it is not dis- puted— to certain moneys which were to be granted as compensation under the Wash- ington Treaty. By no word or implication has that right been surrendered, and | maintain that the Island is justified in claiming a vortion of this money on that ground. Weare very thankful that the Dominion Government have given us a share of the fishery bounty; but I submit that this is altogether distinct from this award. The bounty is given to the fisher- men of the Maritime Provinces to encour- age them in their industry. If we are te surrender our claims to this bounty, on the simple ground that we are to receive a por- tion of the award, I should be very sorry, because I think it is a right principle that the. fishermen should receive the benefit of their fisheries. Now, I have something to say with regard to the fact that Prince Edward Island WAS NOT REPRESENTED

before the Halifax Commission. I think we had a perfect right to be represented there, and to press our claims for a portion of this money. I think that was the proper ime to press our claims. It is indeed a matter of regret that this question should now come up before the Dominion Parlia- ment; because the right of Prince Edward Island, having existed since the Province ratified the Treaty, that right could have been put before the Halifax Commission, and we should not be obliged to come here now, as it were, supplicating the people of this Dominion to grant us a right that could have been obtained under the terms of the Treaty. Now who is to blame iv this matter? There must have been neglect on the part of somebody in regard to repre- senting the claims of the Island before the Halifax Commissiun. I will not say that the hon, gentleman who represented Prince Edward Island in this House, from 1874 to 1879, were delinquent in their duty; bat I think it was equally necessary at that time,

dated the 12th of August, 1875, is as follows ;

“Her Majesty's Government have been in communication with the law cflicers of the Crown, with regard to including British Columbia, under the opereton of the Treaty of Washington, and they are advised that the words ‘Dominion of Canada’ existing in the Treaty of Washington, article 21, must be governed by the state of things in May, 1871, ane cannot now receive a wider construction from the fact that additional territory has since been added to the Dominion. The article 33 provides the meana, by which the several articles named ion be carried into opera- tion, but does not provide in any way for extending the meaning or operation of those articles, and Her Majesty's Government are advised that the Act of the first of March, 1872, and the Act of Parliament of Canada, 14th June, 1873, must both be construed to the Dominion of Canada, as that Dominion was on the 8th May, 1871.”

Have a Sweer Voice, Grris.—Were half the pains which is taken to cultivate the voice in song bestowed upon its tones as used in speech, social intercourse would gain a very greatcharm. We hear barsh, metallic voices, which are cracked, a discord running through their cadences. Nobody can be where a num- ber of ladies are gathered without being strack by the lack of culture which is evidenced in disagreable voices. A _ sweetly-modulated voice in conversation is delightful and restful. In educating the young, example is more potential than precept; and if mothers and teachers always spoke with gentleness, and were careful to let their voice be clear and distinct, dropping from their lips like finished coin, a great benefit would acorue to the attractiveness of social intercourse.
